February 2010

Devon County Council, in conjunction with Co-active, has launched a new Scheme to encourage and support the growth of social enterprise in Devon.

£35,000 has been made available under the Social Enterprise Development Voucher Scheme to pay for professional business support services.

Vouchers are available to cover up to half the cost of required business support, up to a maximum award per enterprise of £2,000.

It is open to existing social enterprises, which are already trading, and where the support would enable a step change in the growth of the business.
